Mushroom Wars

by King Olly of Origami

An outbreak of Shroomitz puts the world in danger. But a group of survivors called the "Mushroom Saviors" finally create the cure, it seemed like everything would be uphill from there. Until the team's medic, Olga, finds out who's been spreading it at such a fast pace...(Rated T for mild blood, death, one disembodied arm, and Zombies! A little darker than my other stories.)

3. Olga apologizes

"Marino, I lost them all." Tears streamed down her face. "He broke them!"

Marino sighed. "It's fine, Olga. Mistakes happen."

"I should have listened to you! Thanks to me, we lost more than half of the cure!"

"Who broke them?" Marino asked, finally realizing what she said.

"I-it wa-was...Olwdd."

"Your brother is the Spreader?!"

"He has it too. Shroomitz."

Peach gasped. She said a quiet "No..." when she did.

"And...there's something wrong with his arm too."

"How so?" Marino asked, trying to get as much information out of her as possible.

"It was...tentacleish. The inside of it was lined with teeth." She told. "He tried to...eat me with it. He didn't seem to be acting like himself."

"How? Your brother was pretty strange already."

"Sure, he wanted a Kingdom of his own and all but...he would never kill me!"

Marino said nothing and walked out, Olga and Peach following. He opened the door to the weapon supply and started looking around. He grabbed a M4 Carbine and examined it. He walked off to the other side of the room and loaded it, putting some extra reloads into his pouch.

"Marino, no!" Olga grabbed onto his sleeve to try to stop him. "You can't kill him!" Tears fell as she tried to prevent Marino from leaving.

"I'm sorry Olga, but I need to." He gently pushed her hand off. "He's a danger to us all."
